Good Day Part II

I worked all day, but it went by fast because I was training two of the guys on registers, so I had someone to talk to all day. Zac was a little slow at getting stuff, mostly because he is brand new so not only is all the floor associate stuff being thrown at him, but so was all the cashiering stuff too. Then the second half of the day I trained Aaron, which was much easier because he's worked at the store for a while already so he knew how things worked mostly.

Teetz and Brian came into the store near the end of the day and we were both intending to ask one another if we should lay out by the pool, amazing how sometimes it's like Teetz and I share a brain, hmmm? So we did, then went to Olive Garden for dinner. I'm doing well so far, I'm actually eating fattening foods like pasta, so maybe my boobs will grow back. When I lost all that weight after Drake and I broke up, my boobs were the first thing to go, and then Teetz said I was losing my ass too, so that made me sad. I just don't want to put on too much weight, because with my luck it'll just go straight to my hips and I'll still have my tiny little boobs. I wonder how many times I've actually said boobs in this paragraph.

I bet you just went back to count, ha ha, sucker.

In my last post Tobes commented and then left the lyrics to a really great song that I am going to post here for your viewing pleasure. If you want to have listening pleasure also, I recommend downloading it. It's a great song; not usually my type of music but I think the lyrics are very powerful, all things considered.

"Tragedy" - Brandi Carlile
Sorry I'm only
Human you know me
Grown up oh no guess again

My days always
Dry up and blow away
Sometimes I could do that too
But make no mistake that

When you need a friend
You could count on anyone
But you know I'll defend
The tragedy that we knew as
The end

Progress, changing
Growing then giving up
Somehow we're never quite prepared
But I understand it

When you need a friend
You could count on anyone
But you know I'll defend
The tragedy that we knew as
The end

So taking you with me would be like
Taking all your money to the grave
It does no good to anyone especially
The one you're trying to save
But it's so hard not to save

When you need a friend
You could count on anyone
But you know I'll defend
The tragedy that we knew as
The end

I'm glad I am in a place now where I can hear songs that speak of these situations, and I don't start bawling. I still don't think I am quite ready to listen to James Blunts "Goodbye My Lover" yet, but everything else I am golden on. I still have a little trouble with Anna Nalick's "Breathe" too, but just the second verse, and it's still a great song. But like I said, that corner has been turned and this past weekend was like another corner, I'm definitely putting a lot of distance between who I was in the last year and few months, and who I am now. It feels so great to be back to me again. I think this is troubling a few people, mostly in the way I have gone about actually getting to this point, but if I am happy, then isn't that enough for my friends who are supposed to love and support me no matter what, because they know I do the same for them unless they're being really stupid - in which case i tell them how I feel and they keep being stupid anyway but I still love them? It should be the same for me, and at least I am not crying anymore. That wore me out; totally zapped my energy.

Speaking of zapped energy, between laying by the pool three times in the last two days, and the huge plate of pasta I had (I'm sinking it to a food coma rapidly) I am about ready for bed - plus I work at nine tomorrow.

Night kiddies.

Song of the Moment - "Oops! I Did It Again" - Britney Spears
I think I did it again
I made you believe we're more than just friends
Oh baby
It might seem like a crush
But it doesn't mean that I'm serious
'Cause to lose all my senses
That is just so typically me
Oh baby, baby

Oops, I did it again
I played with your heart, got lost in the game
Oh baby, baby
Oops, you think I'm in love
That I'm sent from above
I'm not that innocent

You see my problem is this
I'm dreaming away
Wishing that heroes, they truly exist
I cry, watching the days
Can't you see I'm a fool in so many ways
But to lose all my senses
That is just so typically me
Baby, oh

Oops, I did it again
I played with your heart, got lost in the game
Oh baby, baby
Oops, you think I'm in love
That I'm sent from above
I'm not that innocent

Oops I did it again to your heart
Got lost in this game, oh baby
Oops you think that I'm sent from above
I'm not that innocent

Ha! I need to hear Britney now. I'm glad you like that song. It made me think of you. Someone who had gone through heartache but was getting stronger and growing...

I really like Brandi Carlile. Her voice is so strong.

Ugh. Must be off to work as well-- lame

I'm glad to hear that you're doing so much better! You had me worried there for a bit! I have officially decided that you HAVE to come up north to visit (and I can back this up with the argument that I've already been down to visit you!), so that we can expand our bar options to places that we both can go and be comfy - no ties to anything but happy memories! I heart you!

I can't help but love some of her earlier songs. I am kind of ashamed to admit I own a couple of her cds, but I admit it nonetheless. 'Toxic' is wonderfully sinful, and 'I'me A Slave For You'. I may have to have a listen before I go to sleep tonight, ha ha.

The song really is good, I may give some of her other stuff a try too, I do like her voice, it's different.

And I've been much better for a while now Bailie, you must just not be keeping up on my blog :-P. In fact I can pretty much pinpoint almost the exact time when I started getting better, because the conversation took place roughly around 12:30 AM, July 3rd. Since then it has all been up hill for this girl.
